NHRA drag racing testing
Some pictures I took at this past weekend's NHRA time trials held at Firebird International Raceway in Phoenix, AZ.

Re: NHRA drag racing testing
Good shot! Looks like a crew member missed that fuel line fitting during the pre-race checklist.

Wow, that's a lot of fuel dumping out there, and I bet you felt a whole lot of heat after you snapped this shot. I'd love to see some video of this fire ball.

Re: NHRA drag racing testing
Glad I don't have to pay for that wasted fuel. Was there a lot of teams out testing? I plan on going to the testing here in Vegas this weekend. Hopefully there will be a decent number teams to make it worthwhile.
